Minor feature that's really nice: the pull.ff config setting. I had made an alias for doing that manually, now I can start actually using git pull again.

- Aissen 13y agoHaha, me too, my lovely "git pfo" will have to go… Maybe. The problem with git is that new options aren't simply ignored by old git versions, meaning that if you synchronize your gitconfig as part of your dotfiles, then the machines that have old git versions will start spitting error messages at every command for options specific to new versions. I learned that painfully with push.default=simple.
- davvid 13y agoFor `push.default`, older versions understood `push.default` but only later was the `simple` mode added. For `pull.ff`, old versions will simply ignore the setting. I know because I wrote the patch ;-)
